So, how is the weightloss journey going?? Good question, my last post about it is from March 2017, you can read it here. A few things have happened since then. Despite the great way of working of Weight Watchers I couldn’t keep myself on the weightloss wagon. I felt off, getting back to my old habits of eating what’s is easy and fast to prepare, not thinking ahead and letting myself go. I have kept training for a while, running and doing Cross fit which helped me keep the weight I had lost off. I kept sufforing from a lack of energy and my belly was not my best friend.…

After giving birth I started running with a group from work, I liked but I couldn’t keep up. Last June I give it a new try. In first instance I decided to go running in an attempt to lose weight but soon it became a necessity to empty my mind and give me headspace. Of course it helps to shed the pounds too 😉 During my running it occurs to me that some tracks help me running faster and I want to share my top 5 with you. 1. Gasolina – Pitbull & Daddy Yankee 2. Country Girl (shake it for me) – Luke Bryan 3. Bailar – Deorro &…

Hi there! Finally an update! the first update after going open about my weight loss journey! Weight Watchers put the last few years a huge focus on a more holistic way of losing weight and achieve an healthy lifestyle. They use 3 main focus points: Food, Fit & Feel.

The results first: week 2 : +0,6 kg (week 2) week 3: -0,6 kg Food This is a few of diners I’ve made those weeks. If you are curious how I made it,…

Welcome to my weight loss journey! Let me introduce myself: I am a 30 something woman who thought to be too fat in her teens when she actually was not and eventually became overweight. I also became a very good yo-yo’er 😉 That’s me, in August 2014 on a super sunny day. When I look at it I can tell that this woman is not happy with her self but she smiles even though. I wasn’t even at my highest weight. I remember feeling ashamed of myself that day. I want to take this road/journey for the last time. I was always busy with my weight. As a young girl…

Hi Frenchies, Here is a recipe for home made granola. I used the recipe from A weight of life and I added some ingredients. The lady behind this Facebook page is one of the most inpsirational woman I know. She has lost 53 kg in ONE year!! She has started an facebook page to post her recipes and they all look delicious. Even if you are not dieting it’s simply food envy! So here it comes! Ingredients • 50 gram oats • 30 gram quinoa seeds • 25 gram puffed quinoa • 30 gram pumpkin seeds 25 gram shredded coconut <— I added this one 🙂 • 1 ts caneel • 1 tbs Coco oil • 3 tbs honey…

HI Frenchies, My apologies for my abscence last week, life happened. I also was a bit sick. I’m still looking how to deal with lifestyle changes and the changes in the Weight Watchers program. I also have a bit of trouble finding and keeping my motivation. Past week I did another cross fit session and it suits me. Now I have to keep it going. As a result of my lower commitment I only lost 300 gr. Even with this small loss I don’t feel comfortable in my own skin. I hope and pray to (re)find my spirit and getting what I aim for. I see a lot of inspirations…

Happy new year dear Frenchies!! The new year has started almost a week ago. I have enjoyed this time with my family and loved ones. Did you too?? Everyone is busy reflecting on the past year and setting goals for the coming one. So am I as well.

Hi Frenchies, Welcome to (I think) my last weigh-in would be for 2015. It’s been a while since I have posted an update. Just like for many of you, the last month of the year seems to be a busiest one of the year!l My father came to visit us for Saint Nicholas and stayed for a few days. We were all pleased to see him as his last visit was in august. Nathan was delighted to play with his French grandpa. Last week, my sister-in-law and her husband, H and me went to Amsterdam to see the play Anne, based on Anne Frank’s diary. We had a very nice…
